Araza
Araza (pronunciation: /ɑːˈrɑːzɑː/), also known as the Amazon guava or Eugenia stipitata, is a tropical fruit native to the Amazon Rainforest in South America.
Etymology
The term "Araza" is derived from the native Tupi language, where "ara" means fruit and "za" means delicious. The scientific name, Eugenia stipitata, is derived from the Greek words "eu" (meaning well) and "genia" (meaning born), and the Latin word "stipitata" (meaning stalked), referring to the stalked leaves of the plant.
Description
The Araza fruit is round in shape, similar to a common guava, and has a yellowish-green skin when ripe. The pulp is very acidic, and it is often used in the preparation of juices, ice creams, and desserts.
Cultivation
Araza trees are typically grown in tropical climates, and they require a lot of water and humidity to thrive. They are usually propagated through seeds, but they can also be grown from cuttings.
